  1. yes it should be awesome!


  2. at 146 it wouldnt be a mans board...thats way too short for a mans board.

    but its a good length for you...and you'll have no problem felexing the board since thats the size rider its built for.

    whistler is awesome!

  3. A 146 should be fine.  

    You are right, a men's board should be more stable for higher speeds.  

    It will be wider and stiffer than a female board.  

    I don't know a lot about Morrows, so I can't be much help with the specific model.  

    It will probably be harder to turn then a female model.  You will have to think more about turning until you get used to the board, especially at slow speeds.  But once you get used to it, you should be fine.  

    A more stable board can be good for you if you plan on progressing your riding.  

    However, if you enjoy just cruising down the groomed runs, and are happy doing only that, then it probably isn't worth giving up the benefits of a female specific board (meaning basically a more narrow board width for female feet, and a softer flex so it is easier to turn and control)  for the benefits of a guys board (more stability at high speeds and in choppy stuff)

    I made the swtich to men's boards when I was an intermediate rider, and the stability it offered me allowed me to keep up with the boys, which progressed my riding to where it is today.  My first guys board was a 146.
